Ninja Talks EP 27: Nostalgia
It seems like just yesterday I started my journey to becoming an elite level trader and because I'm feeling a little nostalgic, I'm going to share with you one major groundbreaking lesson that changed my life just 6 months in to my career.
So let me take you back to the good old days of Jan 2013.
Back then, like most, I googled "How to make money?" - naive me thought it would be easy, but old daddy fate had something else in mind for this grumpy Ninja and I regret none of it.
My "detailed" search lead me to forex factory where I rejoiced in the open fields of the community as a fresh faced Bambi ready to learn.
Luckily for me, I found a mentor within the first six months. This mentor gave me unending guidance that to this day I still hold dear to my trading heart. Now I don't want you to think that this is a love letter to my once good friend and mentor because it ain't, things ended badly and abruptly. And like most arguments, both parties are wrong.
With that being said, one line, that he always used to say rings in my ears whenever my attention or drive begins to dwindle.
He said, "Consistent practice breeds consistent results."
Now I don't care who you are, that's one helluva line.
Mainly because I understand it's depth the more experience I gain.
We can come at it from many different angles, but here's two;
1) Consistent application of a strategy leads to a deeper understanding of a strategy which leads to pulling success from said strategy.
Make sense?
2) We are not after a big pay day, we're after consistent pay days - big difference between the two and when you grasp the deepness of that statement, you become a pro my friend.
It doesn't necessarily matter if you are geek or chad, amateur or pro, Samurai legends or Ninja, what matters is the lesson you (1) Observe and (2) Allow to sink in.
This is how you "make it".
This is long term gratification.
Practice consistency.
In every waking moment and in all aspects of life and I swear to you right here and now, you will live a hugely fulfilling life.
Understand Ninja?
Good.
